Shell Dives Into Canada's $10 Billion Bay Du Nord Project
Shell will take a 30% stake as Equinor keeps control of the proposed $14-billion Bay du Nord project.
- On Oct 9, Shell agreed to acquire a 30 per cent stake in the proposed oil project off the coast of Newfoundland, strengthening the development's partnership structure.
- Holding a 70 per cent operating interest, Norway-based Equinor continues to lead the $14-billion deepwater development, which is situated about 500 kilometres east of Newfoundland.
- This agreement follows the recent exit of BP-N, which announced it had sold its 37.2 per cent interest in the project three months ago.
- Equinor executive Philippe Mathieu stated the new partnership strengthens the project as the consortium moves toward a final investment decision expected early next year.
- As Canada's first deepwater oil development, the project is situated farther from shore than any other offshore installation on the globe, pushing technical boundaries.
